Question

gravitational potential energy

Answer 1

Gravitational energy is the potential energy a body with mass has in relation to another massive object due to gravity. It is potential energy associated with the gravitational field. Gravitational energy is dependent on the masses of two bodies, their distance apart and the gravitational constant

Answer 2

We all know instinctively that a heavy weight raised above someone's head represents a potentially dangerous situation. The weight may be well secured, so it is not necessarily dangerous. Our concern is that whatever is providing the force to secure the weight against gravity might fail. To use correct physics terminology, we are concerned about the gravitational potential energy of the weight.

All conservative forces have potential energy associated with them. The force of gravity is no exception. Gravitational potential energy is usually given the symbol U, start subscript, g, end subscript. It represents the potential an object has to do work as a result of being located at a particular position in a gravitational field.
